Description
The Late November Rain features John Lovelock, a reporter who lives in a small beach town outside of Los Angeles. Lovelock calls himself a minimalist, preferring to live cheaply by the sea even though he is over forty years old. He doesn't own a cell phone and he'd rather ride a bicycle than drive a fancy car.
In The Late November Rain he tracks down an eco-terrorist group vandalizing SUVs throughout Los Angeles. At the same time he is trying to help a young woman named Barbara, whose friends have been jailed by a racist cop. The book follows Lovelock from Malibu to Las Vegas as he deals with the women
in his life and the problems they present.
John Lovelock's opinions about the environment begin to change even though he claims to be an unbiased reporter. By the end of the book he realizes he can be an objective reporter with personal opinions. This growth is a key plot line throughout The Lovelock Stories.
Using a different month in each title of The Lovelock Stories is the author's way of paying tribute to one of his favorite authors, John D. MacDonald and his great character, Travis McGee. Those books included a different color in the title of each novel. The Lovelock books are different in tone than the ones
featuring McGee and his tough-guy swagger. John Lovelock deals with serious issues but often finds himself in hilarious situations. The author strives to make the reader laugh out loud.
J.A. Mock has been writing since high school. He graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 1979 and has written for newspapers from Wisconsin to the Los Angeles Times.
